Tier One

John Dempsey's life - as an elite Tier One Navy SEAL named Jack Kemper - is over. A devastating terrorist action catapults him from a world of moral certainty and decisive orders into the shadowy realm of espionage, where ambiguity is the only rule. His new mission: hunt down those responsible for the greatest tragedy in the history of the US Special Ops and bring them to justice.

Red Notice

Deep beneath the English Channel, a small army of vicious terrorists has seized control of the Eurostar to Paris, taken 400 hostages at gunpoint - and declared war on a government that has more than its own fair share of secrets to keep. One man stands in their way. An off-duty SAS soldier is hiding somewhere inside the train. Alone and injured, he’s the only chance the passengers and crew have of getting out alive. Meet Andy McNab's explosive new creation, Sergeant Tom Buckingham, as he unleashes a whirlwind of intrigue and retribution in his attempt to stop the terrorists and save everyone on board.

American Assassin

Before he was considered a CIA superagent, before he was thought of as a terrorists worst nightmare, and before he was both loathed and admired by the politicians on Capitol Hill, Mitch Rapp was a gifted college athlete without a care in the world . . . and then tragedy struck.

Immediate Action

Immediate Action is a no-holds-barred account of an extraordinary life, from the day Andy McNab was found in a carrier bag on the steps of Guy's Hospital to the day he went to fight in the Gulf War. As a delinquent youth he kicked against society. As a young soldier he waged war against the IRA in the streets and fields of South Armagh. As a member of 22 SAS Regiment he was at the centre of covert operations for nine years - on five continents.

Fortress

Camp Bastion: SAS trooper Tom Buckingham finds himself in deep trouble for taking down a renegade Afghan soldier. Instead of being proclaimed a hero, he's made a scapegoat for the incident and drummed out of the regiment. On his return to Britain, disillusioned and embittered, Tom's unique services are quickly snapped up by charismatic entrepreneur Vernon Rolt, a powerful billionaire with political ambitions, very few scruples, and a questionable agenda.

The Gray Man

Court Gentry is known as The Gray Man - a legend in the covert realm, moving silently from job to job, accomplishing the impossible, and then fading away. And he always hits his target. But there are forces more lethal than Gentry in the world. And in their eyes, Gentry has just outlived his usefulness. Now, he is going to prove that for him, there's no gray area between killing for a living-and killing to stay alive.

Zero Day

From David Baldacci - the modern master of the thriller and number-one worldwide best-selling novelist - comes a new hero: a lone Army Special Agent taking on the toughest crimes facing the nation. John Puller is a combat veteran and the best military investigator in the U.S. Army's Criminal Investigative Division. His father was an Army fighting legend, and his brother is serving a life sentence for treason in a federal military prison. Puller has an indomitable spirit and an unstoppable drive to find the truth.

Sold Out

Meet Nick Woods, a former Marine Scout Sniper, who used to be one of our country's greatest operatives. Meet Allen Green, a ballsy reporter in his fifties, who's desperate to break the biggest story since Watergate.

Warship: Black Fleet Trilogy, Book 1

In the 25th century, humans have conquered space. The advent of faster-than-light travel has opened up hundreds of habitable planets for colonization, and humans have exploited the virtually limitless space and resources for hundreds of years with impunity.

What would happen if they were suddenly threatened by a terrifying new enemy?

Former SAS hero Andy McNab and eminent psychologist Professor Kevin Dutton are unlikely partners.

Dance with the Enemy: The Enemy Series Book 1

Five months ago his life changed forever when he was captured, tortured and left for dead by Youssef Selim, one of the world's most violent terrorists. When Selim mysteriously reappears in Paris, linked to the kidnapping of America's attorney general, Logan smells his chance for revenge.

Steel World: Undying Mercenaries, Book 1

In the 20th century Earth sent probes, transmissions, and welcoming messages to the stars. Unfortunately, someone noticed. The Galactics arrived with their battle fleet in 2052. Rather than being exterminated under a barrage of hell-burners, Earth joined their vast Empire. Swearing allegiance to our distant alien overlords wasn't the only requirement for survival. We also had to have something of value to trade, something that neighboring planets would pay their hard-earned credits to buy. As most of the local worlds were too civilized to have a proper army, the only valuable service Earth could provide came in the form of soldiers....

Publisher's Summary

When a young trooper is shot in the head at the Regiment’s renowned Killing House, Nick Stone is perfectly qualified to investigate the mysterious circumstances more deeply. He has just returned from Moscow – still trying to come to terms with the fact that his girlfriend and baby son are safer there without him – so combines an unrivalled understanding of the Special Forces landscape with a detachment that should allow him to remain in cover.

But less than forty-eight hours later, a second death catapults him back into the firing line – into the telescopic sights of an unknown assassin bent on protecting a secret that could strike at the heart of the establishment that Stone has, in his maverick fashion, spent most of his life fighting to protect.

And now the clock is ticking, Stone hurtles from the solitude of a remote Welsh confessional to Glencoe – whose shadows still whisper of murder and betrayal – and on to Southern Spain, in an increasingly desperate quest to uncover the truth about a chain of events that began in the darkness of an Afghan hillside, and left a young man haunted by the never-ending screams of a friend the Taliban skinned alive.

Nick Stone’s most heart-stopping adventure yet will force the reader to recognise the thinness of the line that separates sacrifice from suicide, to share the nightmares that walk hand in hand with heroism – and to count the real cost of actions taken in the name of loyalty.

Paul thornley is the greatest narrator when it comes to playing a gritty, tough ex SAS solider. As far as I'm concerned, there is no point in casting any other narrator to play Nick Stone. I've have tried to listen to other narrators trying to play Stone, but Thornley is unrivalled in his talent for narrating for Mcnab.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I cried with relief when the day finally came of Valour's release

Any additional comments?

I'm looking forward to the next Stone instalment. Mcnab is my favourite, so perhaps I am biased in my reviews of his books.

In this adventure, rather than the jungles of Colombia or the freezing conditions of Russia, Stone takes us through our very own green and not-so pleasant land, trying to unravel a mystery that has left men dead.

As ever, Mcnab's survival intellect and gritty storytelling leaves me wanting more. Especially from Nick Stone. I'm still coming to terms with the death of Kelly, almost ten books ago, so am hoping another form of relationship is possible for our good hearted hero.

As ever, a great listen.

"Too bitty, too many chapters...maybe its just me"

If this book wasn’t for you, who do you think might enjoy it more?

Somebody who likes a new chapter every 3 or 4 minutes woud love it.There are 144 chapters in this audio book, from under 2 mins to 6 or so, and after the first few, they aren't called 1-144 in the audio so its easy to get lost if you're trying to find where you were on another offline device, from what the voice says at the start of the chapter !

What could Andy McNab have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

I don't know what it is but I really didn't get on with this one, I normally really enjoy his stuff, the narrator was OK, not great but didn't detract from it.It had all the usual McNab stuff in the mix, which I usually like but somehow this book just didn't do it for me.I seemed to always be wondering where/when are we in the story, not usually a problem for me, maybe it was the way it was broken up into very small pieces or the scene not being set somehow, dunno... I kept going back and forth in the book trying to get a feel for it, but never really got immersed.

What didn’t you like about Paul Thornley’s performance?

The lack of positive things abut it to be honest, nothing hugely negative but nothing the other way either.

You didn’t love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Hmmmm...

Any additional comments?

It would help to have chapter X in the audio be the same as chapter X in the index, not chapter X (in the chapter menu) = chapter Y, part Z (in the audio)....

Not suggesting the book is reorganised to suit the audio, just that the menu in the Audible app should say the same as the voice does (which is presumably what's in the paper book).

Good adaptation of characters. Good flow. excellent for by the pool on holiday. ..... and the flight home.

"Disappointed"

Started off well but then soon drops off, I stuck with it until the end hoping it would pick up but it never did. I've enjoyed many of the books in the series but this one just didn't do it for me. If you're looking for action you won't find it in this book.

"What a twist!"

Where does For Valour rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I think it's as good as any but my favourite is still Firewall.

What was one of the most memorable moments of For Valour?

Where he is being chased by the Leather Men through London.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

I enjoyed the Serbian sniper scene and the chase by the Leather men.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No. But as usual i finished too quickly and now I need more. MORE!!

Any additional comments?

Great ending and some gripping scenes take you once again into the surprising, volatile world of Nick stone.
